Complete identification of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator mutations in the CF population of Saguenay Lac-Saint-Jean (Quebec, Canada).

abstract：:The success of biomedical research in the past few decades has led to dramatic improvements in human health and, as a result, increased life expectancy. An unexpected consequence, however, has been an increase in the number of age-related diseases and, in particular, neurodegenerative diseases. Despite their prevalenc...
